"House of Death" Sutton Coming to a TV Near You

Conroy: Johnny "House of Death" Sutton Coming to a TV Near You


April 17, 2009
Please Distribute Widely

Dear Colleague,


Narco News correspondent Bill Conroy, continuing his coverage of the House of Death cover-up, reports on the announcement that the US Attorney from Texas, Johnny Sutton, will finally stand down this weekend. Conroy has been following Sutton since his involvement was revealed in 2005 to the House of Death murders in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.

Conroy reports:

Johnny Sutton, the lead U.S. prosecutor for the Western District of Texas, will be stepping down from his U.S. Attorney post effective Sunday, at midnight, on April 19.

But that same media was silent about another case marked by the fingerprints of Sutton, one that cost the lives of at least a dozen people and which, to this day, remains mired in a cover-up that reaches to the top of the departments of Justice and Homeland Security.

The murders were carried out in 2003 and early 2004 with the assistance of a U.S. government informant overseen by federal agents seeking to make a drug case for Sutton against a Juarez, Mexico-based narco-trafficker named Heriberto Santillan Tabares.

Thus, Sutton, with his political future intact thanks to the House of Death cover-up, and with the help of a servant media, is allowed to project an image as a tough-on-crime prosecutor who is willing to take the heat for a "just" prosecution of criminal law enforcers like Compean and Ramos.
